As natural disasters become more frequent, there is a greater need to first predict how a disaster will unfold and then prepare for its effects and aftereffects. Disaster planning simulation has enormous potential to do this. Read more in this blog post about how this can be used to develop decision-making tools to reduce the impact of natural disasters.

The time has come for a new Cloud release with many improvements and additional features. In this blogpost we will introduce you to some of the main ones and explore a number of them in more detail.

The AnyLogic Conference will cover software applications across multiple industries. Domino’s Pizza, Netherland Railways, PwC, Komatsu, GHD, and many more companies will share their simulation experience. Check out the program and register now!

Connecting the tactical and operational activities of a company to an enterprise resource planning system, such as SAP, can be critical for success. Here, in this blog post, one steel manufacturer did this successfully.

Managing under uncertainty is not easy, especially when you’re facing new realities that have never been experienced before. How can you do proper forecasting for your business without relevant historical data? Simulation is the tool to help you with that.

Simulations at the enterprise level are becoming a more widespread and integral part of daily workflows. They are a key component of the insight-generation ecosystem alongside BI, AI, and optimization technologies.

This blog post summarizes the AnyLogic Private Cloud platform and introduces the recording with Q&A session for the webinar AnyLogic Private Cloud: Enabling Enterprise Scale Simulation Deployment.

The recent AnyLogic User Group Session brought together simulation specialists and AnyLogic developers for presentations and discussion.

Presentations for AnyLogic 8, AnyLogic 9, AnyLogic Cloud, and Machine Learning (ML) included live demonstrations and were each followed with in-depth live questions and answers. Here they are.

Before a festive break code freeze, updates for both AnyLogic and AnyLogic Cloud arrived. Contained within them were several improvements that we'll take a look at in this blog.

For AnyLogic, we introduced new rack functionality for the Material Handling Library and added file output capability for models exported to AnyLogic Cloud. While for AnyLogic Cloud, we added enterprise features, made user experience improvements, and increased security. Let’s take a look!

Even though your business may not involve anything remotely related to farming or agriculture, we believe our modeling approach is useful for demonstrating how an interactive simulation model can be used to improve collaboration and decision making.

Let’s examine a model where we used high-level aggregate data and focused on the interactions between different processes. NB: No animals have been harmed during these simulations.

Accenture partnered with San Francisco based AI company Pathmind to investigate the potential of new reinforcement learning (RL) opportunities in simulation.

The results obtained were extremely good. The method produced a waiting time more than 4x shorter than the Nearest Agent heuristic.

In this blog post, Agustin Albinati summarizes the model, introduces the three key considerations when defining the neural net, and presents the results of his team's investigations. Linked at the end of the blog post is a step by step how-to with Pathmind. Read on!
